WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

[AskDean]

fixed the problem with my starter mottor by tightening the nut up as tight as it would go after claning the connections now fires firstim every time. and swaped a bearing out on the top fanbelt pully as it was rattling like a bugger at 2000rpm and when not underload at any revs.

so the money pit is now starting and running sweet rady for this weekends meet.

also dislodged half of mablethopes beach out of my bash plates underneath. bash plate move like sand grabbers

Spent £120 on a 2 inch diameter piece of paper. It doesn't make it go any faster or improve it's MPG.

Gutted

Still can't imagine it, you need to post a piccy, cufuffle or not. Ashamed of you.

[BoxCleva]

C'mon Foggy , you don't even have to resize them now , the forum does it for you. And if it helps there was an advert when I just logged into photobucket of a woman with her boobs out. And no, I'm not joking

[andytats]

Did'nt do anything to the truck but did service my VW Golf and what a pleasure it was to work on. Cambelt could'nt of been any easier. Just come to work on the motorway and it runs like a new car.

[BoxCleva]

I was getting sick of having to sit my little Halfrauds trolley jack on a sleeper to get the Fronty and inch of the ground. I'd been look on the bay for a while and a decent 3 tonne + trolley jack with a high lift are bloody expensive even second hand.

But the other day I cam across these two jacks . One needs an oil change and a cup to sit on top of the arm (I probably wont bother) and the other works perfectly. Got the pair for £21.56 and they were only 5 miles from my front door

Pic below shows the new (to me) jacks next to my little weedy 2 tonne halfrauds jobbie. They are both Sealey 3 tonne models

I get nearly a foot more lift with the new ones

[fogman]

thats a good result boxy

[BoxCleva]

Bloody great result mate. Even second hand they seem to go for upwards of £70
